[US Military Spending on Iran May Reach $100 Billion] According to a US source on July 15, an internal assessment by the US Department of Defense shows that the actual cost of the US military operation against Iran may have reached $100 billion, far exceeding the approximately $30 billion previously announced by the US government. It is understood that the huge discrepancy is mainly due to the fact that previous official estimates did not include undisclosed operational expenses, losses of advanced fighter jets, and the costs of severe damage to US military facilities in the Middle East. US Senator Angus King stated that the American public is very disappointed by the lack of information regarding the actual cost of the war, "not to mention the additional costs the war brings to the public, such as gasoline prices."
